Why is double the amount of gas collected in one of the test tube on electrolysis of water name the gas?

Water contains two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen (2 H and 1 O = H2O)
Because of this, the amount of hydrogen and oxygen produced during electrolysis of water is in a 2:1 ratio.
In electrolysis process, hydrogen goes to one test tube and oxygen goes to another. Because Water contains 2 part hydrogen, the amount of gas collected in one tube is double the amount collected in the other.

What is the word equation for the electrolysis of Hydrochloric Acid?
Electrolysis of water produces hydrogen and oxygengases at different electrodes.2H2O(l) --> 2H2(g) + O2(g)Hydrogen is collected at the cathode.Oxygen is collected at the anode.
How do you produce hydrogen in large quantity?
Electrolysis of water containing a small amount of acid to help conduct the electricity.
When a substance is decomposed by an electric current what type of reaction does it have?
This is electrolysis of a molten compound.
The decomposition of water can be brought about by?
electrolysis
What is the separation of water using a machine called?
electrolysis - usually with the addition of a small amount of dilute acid
What is the word equation for the electrolysis of Hydrochloric Acid?
Electrolysis of water produces hydrogen and oxygengases at different electrodes.2H2O(l) --> 2H2(g) + O2(g)Hydrogen is collected at the cathode.Oxygen is collected at the anode.
How was it proved water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen?
by electrolysis, hydrogen and oygen ions were collected in different nodes
How will you test the gas collected in electrolysis of water?
pop test for hydrogen at -ve electrode glowing splint test for oxygen at +ve electrode
What is chemical equation to turn water to fuel?
Electrolysis of water produces hydrogen and oxygen gases at different electrodes. 2H2O(l) --> 2H2(g) + O2(g) Hydrogen is collected at the cathode (-pole). Oxygen is collected at the anode (+pole).
What materials are made in electrolysis?
This depends on what you are electrolyzing. Water, the most common electrolyte, (the material being electrolyzed) separates into Hydrogen molecules on the cathode and Oxygen molecules at the anode. These gasses will bubble up to the top of the electrolysis chamber where they can be collected.
What is coulometer?
A device for determining the amount of a substance released during electrolysis by measuring the electrical charge that results from the electrolysis. Coulometers can be used to detect and measure trace amounts of substances such as water.

How do you produce hydrogen in large quantity?
Electrolysis of water containing a small amount of acid to help conduct the electricity.
Who discover the electrolysis of water?
William Nicholson and Anthony Carlisle discovered the electrolysis of water in May 1800
How do you get hydrogen from water?
Electrolysis of water gives off Hydrogen at the cathode (-ve chrged terminal).
How do you get oxygen out of water?
By electrolysis
What can you get from water?
Electrolysis of water produce hydrogen.
